The number of protons in an atoms determines the atoms identity. Electrons determine the electrical charge.
Explanation:
Half life of zero order and second order depends on the initial concentration. But as the given reaction slows down as the reaction proceeds, therefore, it must be second order reaction. This is because rate of reaction does not depend upon the initial concentration of the reactant.
a. As it is a second order reaction, therefore, doubling reactant concentration, will increase the rate of reaction 4 times. Therefore, the statement a is wrong.
b. Expression for second order reaction is as follows:
![\frac{1}{[A]} =\frac{1}{[A]_0} +kt](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5BA%5D%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5BA%5D_0%7D%20%2Bkt)
the above equation can be written in the form of Y = mx + C
so, the plot between 1/[A] and t is linear. So the statement b is true.
c.
Expression for half life is as follows:
![t_{1/2}=\frac{1}{k[A]_0}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t_%7B1%2F2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bk%5BA%5D_0%7D)
As half-life is inversely proportional to initial concentration, therefore, increase in concentration will decrease the half life. Therefore statement c is wrong.
d.
Plot between A and t is exponential, therefore there is no constant slope. Therefore, the statement d is wrong
Explanation:
Since, density is the amount of mass present in per unit volume.
Mathematically, Density =
As density is directly proportional to mass of a substance. So, more is the density of a substance more will be its mass. And, when more is the mass of a substance then it is likely to sink at the bottom.
Here, it is given that density of oxygen is more than the density of nitrogen. Therefore, balloons filled with oxygen will sink in the air.
On the other hand, balloons filled with nitrogen will rise in the air.
